On CAPS, 94% of the 227 members who have rated Haynes believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just last week, one of those Fools, hend6, succinctly summed up the Haynes bull case for our community: "Solid income, strong balance sheet, a minor dividend. Diversified manufacturing field should stay strong, especially as foreign labor costs continue to slowly rise."
